Squad sheets: Manchester City v Blackburn Rovers

Until a Monday night meeting with Manchester United on 28 April that may well be the championship decider, Manchester City could be about to sail through a run of fixtures that starts with this visit of Blackburn. Yaya Touré is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and was imperious in the 4-0 Europa League win over Porto on Wednesday, while Carlos Tevez's instant return to first-team training following his apology suggests he may make the bench for next weekend's match with Bolton. Rovers are out of the drop zone, but on goal difference only, so this should be a regulation outing for City. Jamie Jackson
